There’s always that part when you’re about to take off on a plane where the flight attendant tells you the “worst case scenario” protocol.

"I look around and I see college students just willing to do whatever. They don’t know when, they don’t know where. But they’re ready. I just want to feel like that again."
While a student at University of California, Davis, Maureen Hodge had done InterVarsity summer missions trips in San Francisco, Sacramento, and Mexico, working with kids in poor areas of those cities. But it was a miscarriage and a cancer diagnosis that got her to Honduras.
